The Nigerian police have arrested a man, Mr. Godstime Esonoye, for
chaining his daughter’s legs at Idimu, a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria’s
commercial capital for one week and denying her of food.
Esonoye allegedly chained and tortured his 10-year old daughter at
their 5, Olorunlori street, for one week without food and water.
The little girl, who is living with Esonoye and her step-mother, lost her own mother two years ago.
The father allegedly chained her to compel her to confess to wi*tchcraft.
The victim has been taken to the Emergency ward at Igando General
Hospital for treatment of the injuries she sustained while she was
chained.
Angry neighbors have called on relevant authorities to ensure that
the man is pun*shed for subjecting the little girl to such inhuman
treatment, and that the girl should not be left with the man after her
treatment in the hospital.
